Chapter 517
Sky-Reaching Bridge, Sixth Level
In the Virtual Universe, Sky-Reaching Bridge Plane.
At the center of the beautiful island, the guardian Bafen was performing his duties when he suddenly saw three figures appear simultaneously on the island.
“Luo Feng, Rongjun, Wuka, you three came together? Hmm, the Jiuyu Sky-Reaching Bridge is empty, but Rongjun, Wuka, you two are both from the Giant Axe lineage. There’s only one Giant Axe Sky-Reaching Bridge, so you decide who goes first.” The guardian Bafen smiled as he looked at Luo Feng and the other two.
Rongjun and Wuka shook their heads repeatedly.
“It’s not us, we don’t want to challenge the Sky-Reaching Bridge right now. It’s this madman, Luo Feng,” Wuka said.
“That’s right, it’s Luo Feng. He wants to challenge the sixth level,” Rongjun said with a smile. “Lord Bafen, we want to watch the live broadcast, is that okay?”
“Luo Feng, what do you say?” The guardian Bafen looked at Luo Feng.
“Of course!” Luo Feng nodded with a smile.
Rongjun and Wuka were the two people he had the best relationship with among the current batch of geniuses. Watching a live broadcast was nothing.
“Rongjun, Wuka, watch closely.” Luo Feng smiled and instantly transformed into an afterimage, flying into the Jiuyu Sky-Reaching Bridge.
...
Jiuyu Sky-Reaching Bridge, Sixth Level.
Amidst the howling winds, Luo Feng stood on the bridge surface of the Sky-Reaching Bridge, looking at the tornado before him. He slightly closed his eyes, adjusting his state to its peak.
“Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat one to enter the seventh level,” a voice echoed from within the tornado.
“Controller.” Luo Feng didn't hesitate.
Immediately, a figure swiftly flew out from the tornado. Still clad in silver, riding a dark cloud shuttle, with a dark golden long staff on his back, the masked face stared coldly at Luo Feng: “A Universe-level Ninth Tier trying to pass the sixth level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge? Last time you were defeated in a single move, you seem quite confident in such a short time.”
“Of course!” Luo Feng nodded.
Swish!
The dark golden long staff on his back instantly seemed to transform into a Sun, emitting a vast amount of golden light that spread across the sky, dense and numerous, nearly 3,000 golden miniature swords. They instantly combined in mid-air to form 36 golden swords, each over a foot long. As these 36 golden swords hovered before Luo Feng, they rapidly merged into one!
Innumerable golden threads intertwined, forming a perfectly unified whole.
In an instant!
A seemingly ancient, dark golden longsword hovered before Luo Feng.
Yan Shen Bing’s Fifth Level — Space Cut!
In fact, even when he had comprehended the 10th and 11th profound mysteries, the reason he couldn't unleash the fifth level of Yan Shen Bing was primarily due to his lagging comprehension of the ‘Gold Origin Law.’ However, in the past two years, the Golden Horn Behemoth began studying the combat secret technique “Tearing Sky, Sundering Earth,” and combined with the three ancient diagrams, its progress was astonishing. Unleashing the fifth level of Yan Shen Bing was no longer difficult!
“Very good, you can also unleash the fifth level now? However, even if it’s the same fifth level, the power might not be the same.” The silver-clad figure laughed heartily. At the same time, the dark golden long staff on his back also emitted a vast amount of golden light, quickly combining to form a dark golden longsword that hovered beside him.
The two faced each other from a distance, their gazes meeting!
“Absolute Domain! Space Cut!” Luo Feng’s eyes turned cold, instantly unleashing his strongest ultimate move!
“Go!” The silver-clad figure pointed at Luo Feng from afar.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two dark golden streaks of light simultaneously tore through the air. The dark golden streak unleashed by the silver-clad figure was astonishingly fast. Even now… purely in terms of speed, Luo Feng’s dark golden longsword was slightly inferior to his opponent’s. Not only was it fast, but its flight path was incredibly elusive and unpredictable.
Yan Shen Bing’s Fifth Level, ‘Space Cut,’ emphasizes both speed and power! The silver-clad figure unleashed the most standard version of the incredibly powerful Yan Shen Bing’s Fifth Level!
The silver-clad figure used the standard version, while Luo Feng’s execution was clearly unique.
Luo Feng’s dark golden longsword was entirely based on the 12 profound mysteries, drawing upon the pressure of the entire cosmic space. At the same time, his comprehension of the Gold Origin Law, gained from studying the ancient diagrams and “Tearing Sky, Sundering Earth” over the past two years, was also integrated into it. This imbued the dark golden longsword with an irresistible power!
One was speed and power!
The other was spatial pressure and power!
“Chichichi~~” As the two dark golden longswords shot out, just before they made contact, the silver-clad figure’s dark golden longsword noticeably slowed down, as if subjected to an invisible pressure. Luo Feng’s dark golden longsword, however, pressed forward with the full assistance of cosmic space.
Bang!
The dark golden longsword transformed into a streak of light, knocking away the opponent’s weapon while directly sweeping past his head!
Sixth Level!
Passed!
“Rigid, inflexible.” Luo Feng smiled faintly. “In the past two years, I’ve been studying ‘Essays on Space-Time’ to comprehend the Jiuyu Chaos Stele. My comprehension of the ‘Fine Rain Diagram’ only reached about 80 points. Your execution… should be considered a perfect 100-point comprehension of the ‘Fine Rain Diagram,’ unleashing its full power.”
“Unfortunately, you still lost to me.”
“I understood it during that time in Chaos City. The ‘Raindrop Diagram’ and ‘Fine Rain Diagram’ are incredibly perfect as a whole because… by comprehending their essence and using that essence to structure and connect with the entire cosmic space, that is the true path! From utilizing space to influencing space, this is a fundamental leap.” Luo Feng smiled, flying directly upwards, heading towards the seventh level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge!
...
Sky-Reaching Bridge Plane, at the center of the island.
Rongjun and Wuka stared in shock at the live broadcast on the screen before them.
“He succeeded?” Rongjun’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
“How, how is that possible?” Wuka couldn’t believe it. “This, it’s only been a little over two years! And that’s two years in the outside world, where cultivation speed can’t compare to Chaos City.”
Logically speaking,
Challenging the Sky-Reaching Bridge, each subsequent level should take longer to pass! And the speed of comprehension in the outside world is not as fast as in Chaos City. They estimated that Luo Feng would need to wait decades in the outside world before he could pass the sixth level. This was what they considered reasonable.
Unfortunately, what was unreasonable was precisely what defined a genius! What defined a madman!
“Essays on Space-Time,” “Tearing Sky, Sundering Earth,” and the three ancient diagrams, along with Luo Feng’s own sudden enlightenment regarding the Jiuyu Chaos Stele, allowed Luo Feng to break through again in just over two years!
...
Sky-Reaching Bridge, Seventh Level.
“Starry sky!” Luo Feng felt very dreamlike as he flew on the seventh level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge, for before him was no longer a raging wind, but an infinite starry sky.
This seventh level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge was set amidst a starry landscape.
Luo Feng finally flew to the end of the seventh level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge. At the end, a small meteorite, about several kilometers in diameter, hovered. A voice emanated from the meteorite: “Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat him to pass the seventh level.”
“Controller,” Luo Feng called out, his heart filled with anticipation.
What kind of attack would the opponent on this seventh level unleash? Would it still be the dark golden longsword? Or something even higher?
...
The hovering meteorite suddenly broke off a piece of stone. The stone rolled on the bridge surface and transformed into a Controller wearing blue combat armor, a mask, riding a dark cloud shuttle, and carrying a dark golden long staff on his back.
“Young Universe-level Ninth Tier, congratulations on reaching this far. I hope you can pass my trial.” The blue-clad figure’s voice was slightly aged.
“Hmm.” Luo Feng didn’t hesitate, directly controlling the Yan Shen Bing to condense into a dark golden longsword that hovered before him.
“Good performance.” The blue-clad figure stepped off the dark cloud shuttle and walked onto the bridge surface. At the same time, the dark golden long staff on his back instantly emitted an almost infinite amount of golden light. In an instant, the entire world changed color. The surrounding Sky-Reaching Bridge surface, the starry sky, everything completely vanished, leaving only countless sword energies swirling around.
Luo Feng’s expression changed: “Is this the Sword World?”
Yan Shen Bing’s Sixth Level — Sword World!
According to the power descriptions of each level of Yan Shen Bing, the leap from the fifth level to the sixth level is extremely difficult. One could say that the transition from the fifth to the sixth level, and from the eighth to the ninth level, are the two most challenging hurdles in Yan Shen Bing. This can also be seen from the number of golden miniature swords used.
The Fifth Level, ‘Space Cut,’ uses 2,916 golden miniature swords.
The Sixth Level, ‘Sword World,’ uses 5,832 golden miniature swords, exactly double. It should be noted that the entire dark golden long staff only contains 10,081 golden miniature swords, and the increase in subsequent levels is not as dramatic as this one.
Similarly…
The power of Sword World is terrifying!
World, what is a world?
Only a Sector Lord can control a world, form a world, and use world power! However… the ‘Sword World’ technique, by utilizing laws, allows one to prematurely use world power. Although it belongs to ‘Sword World Power,’ which is slightly inferior to true world power, it is still incredibly formidable.
With a complete comprehension of the sixth level, a Domain Lord, relying on Yan Shen Bing’s sixth level, could almost traverse the universe unimpeded.
“You still need to cultivate diligently,” the blue-clad figure smiled.
Swish!
The entire world pressed down, far exceeding the cosmic space power Luo Feng could draw upon. Instantly, a wisp of sharp sword energy swept past Luo Feng’s head.
Luo Feng, failed!
...
“It’s not unfair to fail, it’s too strong. This move, once unleashed, completely forms a world,” Luo Feng sighed inwardly. “When will I be able to unleash the sixth level?”
Luo Feng knew clearly.
The leap from the fifth to the sixth level was the most significant and abnormal improvement among all nine levels of Yan Shen Bing. It was no less difficult than breaking through the final level.
...
Rongjun wouldn’t shout it to the world, but Wuka was someone who couldn’t keep quiet, and the news quickly spread.
...
Primal Region.
Bolan, clad in white, was flying above the Primal Region when a majestic figure suddenly flew towards him from a distance.
“Bolan.”
“Hmm?” Bolan turned his head. The person was Longyun.
Bolan silently watched Longyun, waiting for him to speak.
“Do you know? Luo Feng passed the sixth level of the Sky-Reaching Bridge today!” Longyun said quickly.
Bolan, who had been calm and silent moments before, subtly changed his expression, his pupils seemingly contracting slightly. He softly said, “I know.” Then he flew directly towards his residence.
...
A moment later, at the center of the island in the Sky-Reaching Bridge Plane.
Bolan, clad in white, appeared abruptly.
“Bolan?” The guardian Bafen smiled at him. “You really came.”
“I want to challenge the seventh level!” Bolan’s eyes gleamed with cold light.
“The checkpoints are tiered every three levels: first to third, fourth to sixth, and seventh to ninth. This seventh level… is much harder than the sixth,” the guardian Bafen looked at Bolan. “You only passed the sixth level a little over two years ago, and you want to try breaking through the seventh level already?”
“I want to try,” Bolan said solemnly.
“Alright, go ahead. The Cosmic Sky-Reaching Bridge is empty now,” the guardian Bafen smiled.
Swish!
Bolan, clad in white, flew directly into the Cosmic Sky-Reaching Bridge.
